The "was K4" PK is it. MIS wanted to start calling it "photo carbon" but apparently has not followed up on that.
I have been looking at Paul Roark’s instructions for the new universal ink set, Glossy Carbon Variable Tone Black and White Inkset for Epson Printers, and going to MIS’ web page to order materials. Despite communicating with Paul, I am still very unclear was to what black ink is the correct ink to be ordering. Note that MIS only offers these inks only in $90 pints, which is way more than I will need, so I would like to order correctly. My objective is to build the ink set that will allow use on glossy and matte papers.
Paul Roark’s instructions state the following:
Ink Arrangements for the 1430: K = Eboni MK or 100% Photo Carbon (PK)
All other shades are dilutions of the PK black ink.
MIS’ web page, in the Roark’s Lab section lists the following black inks:
EB6 V1.1 CARBON MONOTONE MATTE BLK (EBONI) – K Part Number: EB6-PT-K (noted as for matte paper only)
ULTRATONE PINT PHOTO BLACK - (POSSIBLE 24-48 HOUR LEAD TIME) - WAS K4 PK Part Number: UT-HEXPT-PK
The naming is not consistent and MIS lists K4 PK on another page.It is available in a 4 oz bottle but nothing in that description says anything about this being a carbon ink.
I’m not going to order ink until I understand what I should be ordering. Can anyone clarify this?
